The film very deliberately references the stories that it's based on and aims to be a collage of different techniques and atmospheres. To achieve this, it combines {{Chiaroscuro}} visuals with a musical score and camera techniques that evoke the 1950's, creating a kind of AnachronismStew of editing methods. Bale's performance is an absolute ''tour de force,'' and the end result is a haunting, gorgeous film that tells its story in a clever yet familiar way.

About six months after that harrowing experience, Bale bulked up to truly superheroic dimensions to play Film/{{Batman|Begins}} (before losing weight ''again'' to appear in ''Film/TheFighter.'')
